welcome from the large American colony in Paris there can be no question, and it is likely, indeed, that Frenchmen themselves may show keen interest in this opportunity to see. first hand, one product of American art. Acquaintance with the thought and the laughter of the American stage may give France another view of this country from which to judge us. America ha Ions given welcome to celebrites from European theatres and the tours here of Madame Bernhardt and of Sir Herbert Tree, to mention only two, have done much to give us a broader view of their respective countries. Perhaps, too, American dramatic work will not be so lightly regarded at home if it proves Itself abroad. There is strong suspicion thai American art is not without honor save in its own country.

GIVE IT TO THEM. Postmaster General Burleson opposed increase of pay for the postal employes on the ground that it would add $40,000,000 a year to the budget of his department. What of that, and what's forty millions, anyhow? The government has tapped the public for hundreds of millons to pay the railway employes and the tapping is by no means at an end. Are wage melons to be cut only for the railroaders? The cost of living hits the postal clerk just as hard in just the same place as it hits the railroader. If the federal government has become a soft thing for one class of employes let it he so for all classes of employes, and if not for all. then for none. As between the quality of postal service and the quality of railway service, there is so little to choose that no difference of treatmeant can be claimed for the employes of the one as against the other. Fort Wayne News. We utter a loud and hearty Methodist Amen after giving just as loud and hearty Episcopalian cheers. If this man Burleson and his rotten railway mall service

weren't so niggardly and would give the people what they

pay for nobody would begrudge the raise.

THIS LABOR DAY. Labor Day this year is in many ways the most momentous milestone in the history of Labor, which began with the beginning of the world. The giant Labor has triumphed, and we celebrate his conquest of forest, f. mine, eea and industry and sound a warning for the future. Labor is triumphant over everything BUT ITSELF. "He who would rule others must first rule himself" is one cf the soundest maxims ever coined, and it is more applicable to today than to any period in history. Labor's rosy future has just one threatening cloud. It is that jubilation caused by Labor's victories over primeval nature in industry, agriculture and the arts and over mankind's foe in battle may bring on abandonment of the practical and sane way of progress that leads ever to a higher civilization for the impractical and the impossible that lead down to the brink of chaos. Labor's future is in Its own hands and no one is powerful enough to lessen its brightness but Labor itself. Sane leadership and sane policies now will guarantee- nr the man who works for everything he has, or ever hopes to have, what he dared not dream of even as recently as a decade ago. So, while we celebrate on this Labor Day, let us also TIIIN'K OF THE FUTURE, and let us resolve that our actions will always he guided by ripe judgment, instead of hasty action; that whatever we do will be done for the best interests of our country and our flag, as well a ourselves, and that we will not tolerate theories or agitation which advocate any other course. Therein lies the safety of Labor's future.

NO LOUD CLAMOR FOR HIM. There has been some talk of asking Mr. Wilson to come to Gary aJid make a speech. Who, pray, may we ask, outside of the postmaster, wants to hear Mr. Wilson speak jn Gary or anywhere else in these parts? Gary people are not nearly so enthusiastic about Mr. Wilson as they are in France. They have read so much about him that they are "fed up" on him, and we doubt whether there would be any toes stepped on in a mad rush to greet the president if he were to come to Gary. The good people around here are Inclined to think that the chief executive of a great nation like this ought to stay in Washington and do his executiveing.

THE NEW GERMAN CONSTITUTION.

The new constitution of Germany, a vnopsis of which

has been cabled from Berlin, is something ;f a jum

imperialism, democracy and Socialism. It is not st

that th imperial style is retained in what is put

a an instrument of popular government. s'ne it is difficult to cast off in a brief time the names and descriptions made familiar by more than a generation of common use. At the very beginning the constitution declares that the German empire is a republican state. That covers the essential of governmental reform so far as statement goes, though it would have been preferable had "nation" bee nsubstituted for "empire." Still, sovereigni-y is "hased oa the people," and so long as there is no interference with the exerci?e of popular sovereignty we may believe that Germany w il! develop along democratic lines. The influence of the socialists is visible in the long list

Lof rights reserved to the "imperial" government with

respect to social activities. Not much of sovereignity is left to Individual states, but that need not be a matter of concern as long as popular rights in the "imperial" rights in the national government are respected and the people's control of national interests through a truly representative reichstag is un-

i hampered. The constitution apparently provides safe

guards against domination of the "empire" by any caste or by the representatives of any one state, but it will prove efficacious in this regard only if the people, through intelligent exercise of their right of franchise, are ever vigilant in protection of their own interests. Independent action by the president will he impossible unless the reichstag abdicates its authority and perogatives, which are derived solely from the people. Specific declaration that "the generally recognized rules of international law will be held as binding on the empire" may draw sneers from those who doubt that the new German government is not to be dominated by the spirit of the old. Its sincerity will be demonstrated when the new nation is put to test. That is true with regard to observance of the constitution as a whole. If the German people respect their own fundamental law they may in time gain the respect of the world.

CRUCIFY BULGARIA

ADVERTISING AMERICA. Announcement that a company of American theatrical producers is to lease a Parisian theatre for presentation of plays and players from the United States is gratifying. It is said to be the first step in an ambitious program to enter every great European capital, its chief function to provide American entertainment for Americans in foreign lands. That the undertaking will receive a hearty

NATIONAL ANEMIA. Therew as a time when Uncle Sam talked in such language as "Perdlcardis alive or Ralsuli dead." but there seems to be a weakness in Uncle's voice just at present..

MRS. Irene Castle is evidently of the belief that If one marriage ceremony is good a second one is better, even if not more binding.

THANKS to the good and wise people of Michigan, there will be no six-cent senator in the upper house of

congress.

Former residents of Bulgaria, who live in the Calumet rtgii-n. arc much aroused oer what they call the crucifixion of Bulgaria and ri"t to the rotlowing extract from one of their newspapers printed in this country: 'Vrt-in 13:)S to li78 the Bulgarian ptopie bore the Uuuble yoke of Turkish political oppression and Greek ecclesiastical tyranny. In 1878. when Bulgaria was l'btratcd. the monstrous diplomatic Congress at Berlin gave back to Turkey the Bulgarian provinces of Macedonia and Thrace together with 2,000.000 people. This unjust ac: paved the way for bloody revolutions and Anally climaxed into the Balkan wars of 1912-1913 and the vtry rece.nt world's conflict. In 1313 Bulgaria treacherously attacked by her former allies. Greece and Serbia on the s;,ulh and west and also by Bcurr.ania on the north ar.d Turkey on the southeast. The result was that the Bulgarian province Macedonia ftll in the hands of Serbia and Greece, Turkey retook Adrianopole district and Rottinania grabbed a big slice of Bulgaria's richest wheat province. Dobrudja. nd now Bulgaria is one? more brought to the seat of judgment in Paris. Her territorial possessions are again threatened if the telegram. coming from Paris are true. More of her people aro about to be cut from the mother country ana given to more despotic rulers than the Turks were. Why? Just be-cau-re she attempted, as any other nation in her place would have done, to liberate her oppressed by Greece and Serbian peup!, after all her repeated efforts to get her lost territory back completely failed. Instead of correcting th grave mistakes m Berlin in 18TS and tl us avoiding more wars in the futjre. the Taris conference today will oniy fertilize the soil for more bloody revolutions and wars, if Macedonia. Dobrudja and Thrace are not given back to the rightful owner Bulgaria. The Greeks, the Serbian 1 the Bumar.ians. while insisting that the principle of self-determination shouid tie applied elsewhere they know they are in the majority, here in Macedonia. Vob-

rudja md Thrace, they ignore this prin

ciple entirely, because they know that the c vocw helming majority is Bulgaria. WJn-rt Greece, Serbia ajid Rumania claim the right -0 unite, their own people. Mhy should not. Bulgaria have the same j;tht to claim unity of her pople'.' And if nations, who fought yestenday on the side of Germany, are today recognized as independent nation, is ;t uii.uii that the Macedonian Bulgarians, w ho fought in the ranks of the al.i.d .'.rniies. should clajm the right to unii v.ith their mother country.
